Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday decided that he will not attend the House until discussion and a decision are taken on the no-confidence motion moved by Opposition MPs seeking his removal, sources told India Today.
Although there is no such compulsion under the rules, he has chosen not to attend the House. Even if there are attempts by the government or the opposition to persuade him, he will not attend.
Former Lok Sabha Secretary General PDT Achary noted that while members have freedom of movement, a resolution for the removal of a Speaker is an extreme step usually reserved for cases where the opposition feels their freedom of speech is eclipsed. Speaker Om Birla has recused himself from House proceedings on moral grounds until the motion is addressed.
